Download or read book The Collapse of Liberalism written by Charles Noble and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2004 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Collapse of Liberalism, noted political scientist Charles Noble takes liberalism to task for not being radical enough for what he sees as a long history of how liberalism has accommodated the very economic institutions and corporate actors it has wanted to challenge. As a result, Noble argues, liberals have been unable or unwilling to confront directly class, race, gender, inequality, and corporate power. Clear, engaging, and thought-provoking, The Collapse of Liberalism is a politically engaged interrogation of the way American liberals think about social problems and build political coalitions."

Book Synopsis Why Liberalism Failed by : Patrick J. Deneen
Download or read book Why Liberalism Failed written by Patrick J. Deneen and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2019-02-26 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "One of the most important political books of 2018."—Rod Dreher, American Conservative Of the three dominant ideologies of the twentieth century—fascism, communism, and liberalism—only the last remains. This has created a peculiar situation in which liberalism’s proponents tend to forget that it is an ideology and not the natural end-state of human political evolution. As Patrick Deneen argues in this provocative book, liberalism is built on a foundation of contradictions: it trumpets equal rights while fostering incomparable material inequality; its legitimacy rests on consent, yet it discourages civic commitments in favor of privatism; and in its pursuit of individual autonomy, it has given rise to the most far-reaching, comprehensive state system in human history. Here, Deneen offers an astringent warning that the centripetal forces now at work on our political culture are not superficial flaws but inherent features of a system whose success is generating its own failure.
Book Synopsis The Retreat of Western Liberalism by : Edward Luce
Download or read book The Retreat of Western Liberalism written by Edward Luce and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2017-04-21 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A panorama of the unravelling world order as riveting as any beach read' New Yorker 'Read this book: in the three hours it takes you will get a new, bracing and brilliant understanding of the dangers we in the democratic West now face. Luce is one of the smartest journalists working today, and his perceptions are priceless' Jane Mayer, staff writer on the New Yorker 'No one was more prescient about the economic malaise and popular resentment that has hit the United States than Ed Luce in his previous book, Time to Start Thinking. His new book, Retreat of Western Liberalism, broadens that picture to cover the Western world. It is a must read for anyone trying to make sense of the waves of populism and nationalism we face today' Liaquat Ahamed In his widely acclaimed book Time to Start Thinking, Financial Times columnist and commentator Edward Luce charted the course of American economic and geopolitical decline, proving to be a prescient voice on our current social and political turmoil. In The Retreat of Western Liberalism, Luce makes a larger statement about the weakening of western hegemony and the crisis of democratic liberalism - of which Donald Trump and his European counterparts are not the cause, but a symptom. Luce argues that we are on a menacing trajectory brought about by ignorance of what it took to build the West, arrogance towards society's losers, and complacency about our system's durability - attitudes that have been emerging since the fall of the Berlin Wall, treated by the West as an absolute triumph over the East. We cannot move forward without a clear diagnosis of what has gone wrong. Luce contrasts Western democratic and economic ideals, which rest on an assumption of linear progress, with more cyclical views of economic strength - symbolized by the nineteenth-century fall and present-day rise of the Chinese and Indian economies - and with the dawn of a new multipolar age. Combining on-the-ground reporting with intelligent synthesis of the vast literature already available, Luce offers a detailed projection of the consequences of the Trump administration and a forward-thinking analysis of what those who believe in enlightenment values must do to defend them from the multiple onslaughts they face in the coming years.

This book was released on 2023-07-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harold Stearns' Liberalism in America is a powerful defense of the democratic values that have made America great. In this thought-provoking book, Stearns argues that the temporary setbacks suffered by liberalism in the mid-20th century were the result of external forces, rather than any inherent weakness in the liberal worldview. With his incisive analysis and passionate advocacy, Stearns offers a compelling case for the importance of liberalism in securing a better future for America and the world.

Book Synopsis Liberalism and Its Discontents by : Alan Brinkley
Download or read book Liberalism and Its Discontents written by Alan Brinkley and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did liberalism, the great political tradition that from the New Deal to the 1960s seemed to dominate American politics, fall from favor so far and so fast? In this history of liberalism since the 1930s, a distinguished historian offers an eloquent account of postwar liberalism, where it came from, where it has gone, and why. The book supplies a crucial chapter in the history of twentieth-century American politics as well as a valuable and clear perspective on the state of our nation's politics today. Liberalism and Its Discontents moves from a penetrating interpretation of Franklin D. Roosevelt and the New Deal to an analysis of the profound and frequently corrosive economic, social, and cultural changes that have undermined the liberal tradition. The book moves beyond an examination of the internal weaknesses of liberalism and the broad social and economic forces it faced to consider the role of alternative political traditions in liberalism's downfall. What emerges is a picture of a dominant political tradition far less uniform and stable--and far more complex and contested--than has been argued. The author offers as well a masterly assessment of how some of the leading historians of the postwar era explained (or failed to explain) liberalism and other political ideologies in the last half-century. He also makes clear how historical interpretation was itself a reflection of liberal assumptions that began to collapse more quickly and completely than almost any scholar could have imagined a generation ago. As both political history and a critique of that history, Liberalism and Its Discontents, based on extraordinary essays written over the last decade, leads to a new understanding of the shaping of modern America.
Book Synopsis The Lost History of Liberalism by : Helena Rosenblatt
Download or read book The Lost History of Liberalism written by Helena Rosenblatt and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-02-04 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Lost History of Liberalism challenges our most basic assumptions about a political creed that has become a rallying cry - and a term of derision - in today's increasingly divided public square. Taking readers from ancient Rome to today, Helena Rosenblatt traces the evolution of the words "liberal" and "liberalism," revealing the heated debates that have taken place over their meaning. In this timely and provocative book, Rosenblatt debunks the popular myth of liberalism as a uniquely Anglo-American tradition centered on individual rights. It was only during the Cold War and America's growing world hegemony that liberalism was refashioned into an American ideology focused so strongly on individual freedoms."--
Book Synopsis The Fall of Western Civilization by : Shivaji Lokam
Download or read book The Fall of Western Civilization written by Shivaji Lokam and published by Entropy Works LLP. This book was released on 2018-04-19 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can Western civilization stop its decline? The West gave the World the light bulb, the internal combustion engine and much more that vastly improved the life on earth. But lately, the West is tired, hopeless, and dying. Author Shivaji Lokam says Western countries have been in a self-destruction mode for the past hundred years: first the two World Wars, then the Cold War, now the Experts-driven utopian pursuit of Open Borders and Multiculturalism. The unaccountable experts have been wrong more times than anybody can count. They were wrong on financial crisis, bailouts, stagnant wages, higher taxes, brexit, trump, global trade deals. The experts failed because they were part of the problem. This incredible book tells the story of why they get it wrong every time and their pivotal role in causing the irreversible Western decline. In The fall of Western Civilization you will learn: • How Classical Liberalism caused World Wars, Great Depression, Socialism, Fascism, Cold War, and Decolonization • Why Modern Liberalism wants nothing short of the full destruction of the West and its values • Why the West is becoming less free • How America and Europe’s destruction were long sown in the novel ideas that came out of the European Enlightenment two hundred years ago • Why the elites in the West are utterly clueless and how their fancy education never contributed anything positive • What were the ultimate causes of the 2008 Financial Crisis that crippled the western economies Based on extensive research and fresh understanding of economics, Author Shivaji Lokam weaves through the forces of industry, technology, human nature, religion, and nation-state, to tell how and why the West is collapsing. Original and fresh, The fall of Western Civilization is essential reading to understand why Liberalism has been the greatest hoax ever played on the West.
Book Synopsis This is Not Normal by : William Davies
Download or read book This is Not Normal written by William Davies and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2021-09-28 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What just happened and how did we get into this mess? Since the 2016 referendum, the UK has been in a crisis of its own making. But there are more reasons for this than Brexit alone. A wave of disruption has hit political parties, the mainstream media, public experts and all kinds of officials. Along the way, there have been dramatic and sometimes shocking events: the burning of Grenfell Tower and the Windrush scandal, the rise and fall of the Brexit Party, Boris Johnson’s Conservative purge and his resounding election victory. The state’s response to the pandemic was a further sign of how abnormal things had become. As the ‘mainstream’ of politics and media has come under attack, the basic norms of public life have been thrown into question. Authoritarian and nationalist forces advance as liberalism recedes. This Is Not Normal takes stock of a nation that no longer recognises itself. Davies finds the narrative sense behind apparently chaotic and irrational events, extracting their underlying logic and long-term causes. We are witnessing the combined effects of the 2008 financial crash, the failure of the British neoliberal project, the dying of Empire, and the impact of the changes that technology and communications have had on the public sphere. How the nation revives from the economic and political shocks of the lockdown remains uncertain. This is an essential book for anyone who wants to make sense of the current moment.

Book Synopsis Liberalism in America by : Harold Stearns
Download or read book Liberalism in America written by Harold Stearns and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Liberalism in America: Its Origin, Its Temporray Collapse, Its Future If I were reviewing this book - and in the last six years I have reviewed a great many - I should be inclined to say that the volume was slightly uneven in tone, and I should probably point out that it was somewhat unfortunate that the first chapter of all others should be the least unified in form and the least effective in structure. Then, after a paragraph or two about the stimulating or pernicious quality of the arguments and opinions (according to my sympathies), I should conclude with an exhibition of my superiority to the author by pointing out that no definite remedies were advanced for the curing of the evils exposed. In any case, I am inclined to think I should call the point of view unconventional and I am not at all sure I should not make use of that extremely serviceable adjective "provocative." (In my early days as a reviewer I employed this method with great success, at any rate as far as my editors were concerned - I cannot speak for the authors.) Now as a matter of fact such a review would strike me as, on the whole, reasonably fair. The first chapter wanders a trifle because the definition of liberalism which I make - of a tolerant and rationalistic temper, best expressed, perhaps, by Voltaire's letter to Helvetius, "I wholly disapprove of what you say and will defend to the death your right to say it" - is so simple that I prefer to a merely verbal discussion an attempt to put concretely what this attitude implies in life.

Book Synopsis Liberalism and the Economic Order by : Ellen Frankel Paul
Download or read book Liberalism and the Economic Order written by Ellen Frankel Paul and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1993-07-30 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the collapse of communist totalitarianism, the countries of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union face political instability and an uncertain economic future. The people of the region are struggling to emulate the success of the West by moving toward Western-style democracy and markets. The essays in this volume address the liberal transition currently underway. Some of them explore the models offered by political theorists to guide the course of reforms. Some discuss obstacles to change posed by existing attitudes, institutions and cultural traditions. Some examine the nature of liberalism itself, and consider whether democratic politics and free-market economics can coexist without undermining one another. Some offer alternatives to specific Western institutions, arguing that in certain cases it would be unwise for the East to follow the West. Addressing the issues from a variety of perspectives, the contributors to this volume offer valuable insights into the nature of liberalism and the problems facing liberal reformers today.

CHAPTER NINE LEADERSHIP THIS war has made me doubtful about the advantages of education, for all through it the ' uneducated classes' have shown that they possess much more good sense than their 'betters' and have kept their heads much more successfully. The palm for unreason must certainly be given to the 'intellectuals, ' who have talked more nonsense than any other class. One rarely hears among the people, for instance, the hysterical cant that so many newspapers have published about the air raids and the bombardment. Some journalists, whom one would never have suspected of religious fervor, have denounced the 'sacrilege' involved in bombarding a church, thereby attributing to the Germans the amazing feat of taking an exact aim from a distance of seventy miles. The Parisian public, on the contrary, is not disposed to make too much of incidents which, deplorable as they are, are trifles in comparison with what is going on at the front. The Parisians do not like being bombed and bombarded, but they take their risks coolly as inevitable consequences of war and feel that there is something indecent in shrieking at the death of a few score civilians in plain clothes at a moment when thousands of civilians in uniform are falling at the front. I sympathize with their attitude, for I have never been able to understand why the life of a man becomes of no value the moment he is dressed in blue or khaki."* * The Dial, Volume LXIV, number 766, for May 9, 1918, page 438. * I quote this long section from a letter from Mr. Robert Dell to the Dial, dated Paris, April 9, 1918, because it expresses vividly a reaction which many have dimly felt but few made articulate, and secondly, because this letter illustrates, by a peculiar circumstance, the...
